Tips by age
Offer a salt-free cup torn into small soft pieces the size of a fingertip so your baby can pick them up and gum them.
Choking safety: Break into small soft pieces and avoid letting your baby bite off large chunks. The peanut butter is baked in, but a thick smear can still be sticky.
Cut each cup into halves or quarters and serve a piece at a time so it stays manageable for new chewers.
Choking safety: Quarter the cups and supervise so bites are not too large.
Quarter or halve the cups into bite-size pieces. These hold up well in a lunchbox or as an on-the-go snack.
Choking safety: Keep pieces bite-size and seat your toddler upright while eating.
Serve a whole cup broken into a few pieces. Pair with fruit or yogurt for a fuller breakfast.
Choking safety: Break into a few pieces rather than offering the whole cup in one bite.
